On land, city leaders and planners are banning one-use plastics as well as plastic bags from grocery stores in an effort to stem the use. Many countries have made official announcements and warnings concerning the pollution caused from plastic wastes. These urgent developments have stimulated the author to study the problem and write \u003ci\u003ePolymer Waste Management\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlastic recycling refers to a method that retrieves the original plastic material. However, there are many sophisticated methods available for the treatment and management of waste plastics such as basic primary recycling, where the materials are sorted and collected individually. In chemical recycling, the monomers and related compounds are processed by special chemical treatments. Other methods, such as pyrolysis, can produce fuels from waste plastics. These methods and others are treated comprehensively in the book.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis groundbreaking book also discusses:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eGeneral aspects, such as amount of plastics production, types of waste plastics, analysis procedures for identification of waste plastic types, standards for waste treatment, contaminants in recycled plastics.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnvironmental aspects, such as pollution in the marine environment and landfills.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe advantages of the use of bio-based plastics.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRecycling methods for individual plastic types and special catalysts.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohannes Karl Fink\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Macromolecular Chemistry at Montanuniversität Leoben, Austria.
